	==Synopsis==		==Synopsis==
	~~What appears~~ to be a ~~deserted~~ derelict spaceship crashes into ~~an orbiting space~~ station ~~named~~ Theta ~~that Buck~~ and ~~Wilma are on. Buck checks out the ship~~ and ~~finds~~ the remains of the crew, ~~whom he learns were killed by~~ a ~~vampire~~-~~like creature known as the Vorvon. Buck doesn't realize that the Vorvon~~ is ~~still present until personnel aboard the space station – including Wilma – begin to be taken over by the strange creature~~, ~~who can control~~ the ~~wills~~ of ~~other beings~~.		En route to [[Genesia]] for a five day stay, {{Buck}} and [[Wilma Deering]] pilot [[Rogers' shuttle]] to [[Theta Station]], commanded by an old acquaintance of Deering's named [[Royko]], to deliver [[Twiki]] so that his faulty [[microdisc]] can be repaired. After docking, a [[I.S. Demeter\|derelict spaceship]] exits [[Stargate 9]] and crashes into the station, compromising the station's integrity. Theta's personnel, with Rogers and Deering, investigates and discovers the remains of the crew. Through a review of the captain's log, a [[EL-7\|deadly virus]] from [[Deneb V]] is blamed, particularly after the death of a passenger named [[William Helson]] and the mysterious damage to Helson's [[servo drone]]...

	*[[Wikipedia:Christopher Stone (actor)\|Christopher Stone]] would later go on to play [[horror:Bill Neill\|Bill Neill]] in the [[Wikipedia:1981\|1981]] horror film [[horror:The Howling (1981)\|''The Howling'']].		*[[Wikipedia:Christopher Stone (actor)\|Christopher Stone]] would later go on to play [[horror:Bill Neill\|Bill Neill]] in the [[Wikipedia:1981\|1981]] horror film [[horror:The Howling (1981)\|''The Howling'']].
	*~~This pulls a lot~~ from [[Wikipedia:Bram Stoker\|Bram Stoker]]'s classic [[Wikipedia:1897\|1897]] novel [[Wikipedia:Dracula\|''Dracula'']]: One of the ~~crew (who is~~ hunting a creature) is named [[Wikipedia:Abraham Van Helsing\|Helsing]] ~~and the~~ spaceship is ~~the~~ ''Demeter''.		*Story points from [[Wikipedia:Bram Stoker\|Bram Stoker]]'s classic [[Wikipedia:1897\|1897]] novel [[Wikipedia:Dracula\|''Dracula'']] make up for the basic story:
	*~~There~~ is ~~a logic error~~: Twiki sees the footage of the ~~drone with Buck~~, so why can ''his'' memory units be checked to ~~confirm Buck~~'s ~~story~~?		**One of the passengers hunting a creature is named [[William Helson]] (e.g. [[Wikipedia:Abraham Van Helsing\|Helsing]]).
			**The spaceship is named ''[[I.S. Demeter\|Demeter]]''.
			**The Vorvon is believed to originate from the [[Romaine\|Romaine Star System]]; the name Dracula was erroneously believed by Stoke to be ''devil'' in [[W:Romanian\|Romanian]].

			== Questions ==

			* As Twiki sees the [[servo drone]]'s footage of Helson's fight with the Vorvon, why can ''his'' memory units be checked to corroborate Rogers' story? Is this related, perhaps, to Twiki's faulty [[microdisc]]?
			* How long does the cellular suspension of the [[Vorvon]]'s [[Vorvon thrall\|victims]] last? Is it related to proximity?
